An accepted landing showed an empty Changes section. Not an error — the right answer to a question nobody was asking.

While a landing is OPEN the useful base is the target's current tip: what would merging this change now. ForkPoint's comment says as much and calls the distinction deliberate. But once the record is SETTLED the branch is already contained in the target, so that question has a degenerate answer, and the only reading left is historical: what did this branch do. That is the fork point.

Base is chosen by state now. On the record that prompted this, the diff goes from 0 files to 12.

Second defect in the same block: the else branch says it exists so an empty Changes section never reads as 'no changes', but it only fires when the invoke FAILS. A call that succeeded and found nothing fell through to the success path and rendered exactly that blank. It now says so, naming both check-ins. check-in: 469dbab422 user: dmestas tags: trunk
